Have you ever studied for a exam like 4 times and the 5th time youâre reading the book youâre like I remember this sentence too this one too!
But when you actually sit for the exam you canât remember it then?
Oops!

Your brain actually doesnât care when you keep looking at something ,
Have you ever saw someone and youâre like yeah I remember the face but canât remember their name, but if someone suddenly says their name or they have a name tag you instantly remember mostly everything!

Itâs much easier to look at something , but much harder to not look at it and then recall it ,
which is typically what creates a memory
Each time you donât look at something and try to actually recall it your brain is strengthening that memory.

This creates a sort of overlapping sheet of neurons, that strengthens the memory, but when you are just again and again looking at it itâs easier for the brain to process the visuals and there is not much of a work done by you.
Now how do you actually fix this?

3)Explain it to somebody else: Its the best way to recall something because not only youâre remembering something but also shaping it in your own words. Help a classmate or record a video about you explaining the topic, you wonât imagine how fast you will grasp it.
So now you know why you donât remember working of motor but that 6th class windmill project , the topic that came yesterday in test and the movie you just explained to your friend.
What do we actually learn here?
There is a huge difference between re-reading and recalling
Recalling can be a great help but just re-reading it again and again in the name of revising is sort of worthless
